A wonderfully private West Sussex estate with sweeping far reaching views.
A beautifully positioned family country house set in an elevated and private setting, enjoying far reaching southerly views across the West Sussex countryside.
A beautifully positioned country house set in an elevated and private setting with far reaching southerly views across the West Sussex countryside and towards the South Downs National Park. Extending to approximately 4,500 square feet, the house offers well balanced family accommodation arranged over three floors and sits within approximately 21 acres of gardens, paddocks and woodland, with further land available separately. Located near the picturesque village of Kirdford, with Petworth and Billingshurst nearby, the latter providing direct rail services to London and Gatwick. Chichester and Guildford are each about 20 miles away.
The reception rooms all enjoy stunning views across the gardens and beyond, including a drawing room, dining room, study and a south facing conservatory, together with a spacious kitchen and breakfast room. The first floor provides a principal bedroom suite with impressive views, an en suite guest bedroom, three further bedrooms and a family bathroom. The lower ground floor includes cellars, a laundry room, plant room, useful storage and a walk in safe, together with existing wiring and connections in place for a generator.
A two storey detached annexe sits beside the main house and is currently arranged as an office and games room, offering excellent flexibility for working, leisure or guests. A substantial garage building provides covered parking and additional storage.
The grounds are a defining feature, with formal gardens, sweeping lawns, mature trees and two ponds, together with a walled kitchen garden, two paddocks and an orchard with apple, pear and plum trees. Part of the land has been used as a private golf driving range, and the acreage also offers space for further amenities such as equestrian facilities, a swimming pool, or tennis and padel courts, subject to the usual consents. The elevated setting enjoys wonderful sunrises, sunsets and abundant wildlife, creating a peaceful and idyllic country environment.

For me, the sunrise and sunset views across the South Downs are what make this home unforgettable.
